So are there not supposed to be any options in gmplayer for dvdnav yet
(to use dvdnav in gmplayer do I have to launch it from the console)?

I should mention that this is a pop up error and not one displayed in
the console. Not sure if it is still unimportant, but it would be
nicer to not have to click the ok button before I can continue.

Tried this and it didn't seem to work, although I am no longer getting
dumps about no key binding for mouse button one.

I don't worry about it. I probably just need to recompile libpng, and
relink my font, but it doesn't cause any issues that I am aware of, so
I am staying lazy.


Any idea why it is displaying the menu screen in 4:3 mode? If I am in
gmplayer I can change the aspect to 16:9, but that is kind of a pain.
Also if I use mplayer dvdnav://1 it will play the movie in the correct
aspect ratio.

Thanks again for any help and for making the best video player for
both linux and windows.
